Addition of a few little tools including scandirpdf2noocr

new tool scandirpdf2noocr

Recursively removes all the ocr text from the pdfs. Can be needed if your ocr sw happens to append its generated text to the one already present. This tool should only be used on pdf files that were the result of scans and were processed through OCR. Running this tool on a pdf that is a printout of .doc file will totally remove the text !

Use this tool with caution on a copy of your pdfs and verify for each type of pdf (categorized by the way it was produced) that your pdf remains unaltered visually. This check is recommended, because some OCR tools can embed fonts and have them replace the bitmaps. In that case, you are screwed, you may never be able to remove properly the OCR.

Addtion of a pdf checker

This release includes six tools :

naming_conventions.py & naming_conventions_do_rename.py to enforce some strict rules over the directory names in a file tree. naming_conventions.py is a preview with no effective renaming

check_jpegs for a fast sanity check of a jpegs file tree & check_jpegs_full for a deeper and slower sanity check

scandir2pdf for massive conversion from jpegs to pdfs.

scandirpdf2txt for massive conversion from ocred pdfs to txt files for the purpose of fast full text search with dedicated tools (google or else).

new: check_pdfs for a sanity check of a pdf files tree, it can detect corrupted files, even though some can be open with acrobat reader. There are certainly several possible causes of "false" positives : less standard formats and robustness of acrobat reader to corrupted files.

new : naming_conventions_files.py & naming_conventions_do_rename_files.py to enforce some strict rules over the file names in a file tree. naming_conventions_files.py is a preview with no effective renaming.
